Reduced Tail Swing Excavator
Doosan is adding more power, performance, and speed to the 16-ton excavator market with the iT4 DX140LCR-3, a reduced tail swing machine that offers reduced machine length and added maneuverability, presenting contractors with an ideal machine for operating in tight quarters. The tail swing radius on the DX140LCR-3 is only 5 ft, resulting in a tail swing overhang of just 9 inches over the side of the machine. The 12-ft, 4-in overall track length on the DX140LCR-3 provides exceptional stability for digging and lifting operations. An optional 102-inch-wide dozer blade enhances the machine’s versatility.

Coating to Repel Liquids
UltraTech International announces its newest product, Ultra-Ever Dry, a superhydrophobic (water) and oleophobic (hydrocarbons) coating that will completely repel almost any liquid. Ultra-Ever Dry uses proprietary nanotechnology to coat an object and create a barrier of air on its surface. This barrier repels water, oil, and other liquids unlike any coating seen before. The two-part spray-on coating can be applied with a compressor/air sprayer or, for smaller applications, with available pump or trigger sprayers. Ultra-Ever Dry has been used on a number of different materials, including steel, aluminum, other metals, plastic, leather, fabric, wood, and concrete.
